The Cheapest. Purest ami Best Family
Medicine in the World I
For DYSPnPSIA, CONSTIPATION, Jaun
dice, Biiiousattacks. SICK HI'ADACHE, Colic,
depression of Spirits, SOUR STOMACH,
Heartburn, etc. This unrivalled remedy is
warranted not to contain a single particle of
Mercury", or any mineral substance, but is
PURELY VEGETABLE,
containing those Southern Roots and Herbs
which an all-wise Providence has placed in
countries where Liver 1 uses most prevail.
It will cure all Diseases caused by Derange
ment of the Liver and Bonds.
The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a
bitter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the
Back, Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheu
matism; Sour Stomach; Loss of Appetite;
Bowels alternately costive and lax; Headache:
Loss of Memory, with a painful sensation of
having failed to do something which ought to
have bgen done; Debility; l.ow -Spirits, a thick
yellow appearance of the Skin and Lives, a dry
Cough often mistaken f< r Consumption.
Sometimes many of these symptoms attend
the disease, at others ver- for-, but the LIVER
is generally the seat of the disease, and if not
Regulated'in time, great suffering, wretched
ness and DEATH will ensue.
The following highly esteemed persons attest
to the rirtues of Simmons Liver Regulator;
Gen. W. S. Holt, Pres. Ga. S. \v. R. R. Co.; Rev.
I. R. Felder, Perry, Ga.; C< i. IC. K. Sparks, Al
bany, Gh.; C. Masterson, Esc;., Sheriff Bibb Co.,
Ga.; Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.
“We have tested its virtues, personally, and
know that for Dyspepsia, biliousness and
Throbbing Headache it is the Lest medicine the
world ever saw. We tried 1 r: y other r emedies
before Simmons Liver Rg li.iinr. but none gave
us more than temporary ; of; but the Regu
lator not only relieved, bui < ured us.”—Ed.

It is our sad duty to note the passing
away from earth's sorrows and cares,
one of our brothen in mercy, virtue, aud
charity.
Since we last met, death has claimed
our brother, Howell B. Parker, an
honored member of the Royal Area
num. Whereas, it has pleased our
Heavenly Father to take away from
our midst our brother and friend,
Resolved Ist, That in his death the
Royal Arcanum has sustained an irre
parable loss, one who was ever awake
to the cause of the order, defending and
upholding the widow aud orphans with
virtue, mercy and charity.
Resolved 2d, That we will ever
cherish the memory of his genial pres
ence, his kind and greatful manner,
aud that we also recognize that the
state has also lost one of her best edu
cators, the church a Christian gentle
man.
Resolved 3d, That we tender to his
grief stricken family our deepest sym
patby, feeling that in this hour of sor
row and sadness their most consoling
thought must be in a remembrance of
his thoughtfulness of his family, his
gentle deeds of kindness, aud above all
the thought that he has’ an eternal in

A Word of Promise.
There is over in Fayette county an
old friend, who in all probability, is now
resting in his grave. During the
mouth of November last I went to see
my old friend, who at that time was
lingering right at the verge of the cross
ing.
That loathsome disease, an eating
cancer, had made a dreadful inroad up
on this dear old mao. Near all of the
left side of his face had been eaten
away. He was fully conscious that he
was fast neariug the end of his earthly
career.
While I was making re dv to leave,
my old friend said to me, have you not
time to make a word of promise before
you leave? Of course his meaning was,
that I engage in a word of prayer, es
pecially in his behalf. Agreeable to
his request, I read a short scripture and
bowed down beside his bed to make the
divine aid upon this dear old man, who
I could not reasonably hope to see
any more. His home friends were
all expecting every passing day
to terminate his earthly career. Fifty
four years agoue, his home was here in
the room where I am now tracing these
lines in token of my long remembrance
of .John Barrow. So far as he knew,
a ll of his kindred were dead, and gone
over in the “over beyond.” Doubtless
my old friend has met with far more of
his kindred on the other shore than he
left here to lament his passing away.
For one, I have no tears of grief to
shed over his grave, for I am confident
he is resting in peace. I would not
call him bac'-t to linger, as in days of
yore, on that old bed upon which he
lay so long. But I hurry to close this
brief tribute to the memery of my old
friend, John Bariow. Not one of all
The Weekly’s readers will write a
tribute to his memory, and, but few
will be interested in what I have writ
ten. Let him sleep on ’til the trumpet’s
blast shall wake him to a new and
more glorious life. W. T. G.

McDOXOUGH, GA., FRIDAY FEBRUARY 26, 1807.
Yank and Johnny Reb.
William WilkersoD, who was for
many years jailer of Fayette comity,
and who was noted for his fidelity to
1 truth, related io the Lexington (Va )
' Leader, the following pathetic incident
of heroism which he witnessed ' shortly
after the battle of Riohmond, Ivy., in
1862.
“A son of my friend, Hon. Cassius
M. Clay, was killed in the fight at
Richmond, and it was my duty to visit
the battlefield to identify the body and
take it to his father’s home. While
riding slowly over the scene of the bat‘
i tie 1 heard groans, which I was sure
came from a corn field near at hand.
Looking down the corn rows I soon
discovered two wounded soldiers lying
about forty yards apart. One was a
federal and the other was a confeder
ate. A cannon ball had broken and
terribly mangled both of the confeder
ate's legs while the federal was shot
through the body and thigh.
“ ‘1 am dying for water,’ I heard the
federal say just as I discovered them.
His words sounded as if they came
from a patched mouth.
“ ‘I have some water in my canteen.
You are welcome to a drink if you’ll
come here,’ said the confederate, who
had feebly raised his head from the
ground to look at his late enemy when
he heard his pitiful cry for water.
“‘I couldn’t move to save my life,’
groaned the federal, as he dropped his
head to the ground, while his whole
body quivered with agony.
“Then I beheld an act of heroism
which held me spellbound until it was
too late for me to give the assistance I
should have rendered. The confeder
ate l'fted his head again and took an
other look at his wounded foe, and I
saw an expression of tender pity come
over his pain-distorted face as he said:
“ ‘Hold out a little longer, Yank, and
I’ll try to come to you.’ Then the
brave fellow, by diggmg his fingers in
the ground and catching bold of the
cornstalks, painfully dragged himself to
the federal's side, the blood from his
mangled legs making a red trail the
entire dLtauce. The tears rau down
my cheeks like rain, and, ont of sym
pathy for him, I groaned every time he
moved, but I was so lost to everything
except the fellow’s heroism that I did
uot once think of helping him.
“When the painful journey was fin
ished he offered his canteen to the
federal, who took it and drauk eagerly,
the water seeming to sizzle as it passed
down his parched throat. Then, with
a deep sigh of relief, he reached out
to the confederate, and it was plain to
see as they clasped hands and looked
into each other's eyes that whatever of
hate may have rankled once in the
hearts of these men had now given
place to mutual sympathy and love-
Even while I watched them I saw the
confederate’s body quiver as if in a
spasm of pain, and when his head
dropped to the ground I knew that a
hero had crossed the dark river. The
federal kissed the dead hero’s hand re
peatedly, and cried like a child until I
had him removed to the hospital, where
he, too, died the next day.”
The Columbus Ledger tells a good
story of the bloomer girl. It says: “An
aged man, sauntering across a Colum
bus street the other day, was rudely
jostled by a youthful wheelman. The
collision tumbled the rider off, and the
old gentleman promptly grabbed him
by the ear. “Durn you,” he said, with
considerable asperity, “I’ve a great
mind to take you across my knee and
spank you good ” But he did not do
it. He just held the young fellow a
minute and let him go. “Why didn’t
you spank him uncle?” said a by stand
er. “Well,” replied the old man, “I
certainly would if I had not been a
little afraid that mebbe it was a girl.”
There are some people who are nev
es positive in anything. It is always
“I dou’t know,”or “I guess so.” There
is a world of such people, and it is re
freshing sometimes to hear a person
speak as one having convictions, like
Mr. Cbas. F. Snyder, of Bangor, Pa.,
who wrote; “I can heartily recom
mend Simmons Liver Regulator to all
who are troubled with Dyspepsia or
Liver Complaint.”

CONSUMPTION
How He Told Her K^Jhcr.
The older man was the father of the
woman in the case ; the younger was
the man who wanted to marry her,
so the story goes.
The youuger was the average youug
man seeking a wife—no ..Fetter, no
worse.
Why the father did not want him as
his son in law must be answered by
other fathers who have felt as this oua
did. Perhaps there’s no answer.
So when the younger mao came, the
older was prepared to meet him as one
who by no means first in Ips estima
tion. The younger man wris aware of
the older’s feeling, bCttjmt# disregard
ed it.
Perhaps it is the only successful
method of treatment under (be circum
stances.
That the young man was conceited
goes without saying, but ha was not an
isolated example, as any on? may know
who know, young men.
“Well?” greeted the older, when the
suitor appeared iu his presence.
“I fancy you know, sir, -why I am
here,” responded the caller. “As you
may be aware, it is to ask your consent
to the marriage of your .daughter to
me.”
“Well?” said the father, with an
inflection which did not bode well,
“I understand that you do not look
favorable upon me as the husband pf
your daughter, and I want to assure
you that 1 am not here ou my own be
half, but upon hers.”
“Sir?” exclaimed the father, half
rising.
“On hers, sir, I said,” the amazing
young mau went on. “She loves me,
and to lose me would break her heart.
I love her, but not as she loves me.
You know one must love more strongly
than the stronger iu this instance.
Neither of us is tq, blame. If I had
loved hor as she. loves me, my love
would have made me afraid to risk my
hopes by asking your .consent. Ab it
is, I come to you io confidence, believ
ing that you love your daughter so
much better than you do. me that you
will sacrifice your ojgPKi-elings and
wishes in the matter.”
By this time the father was indig
nant and violent.
“You are the most conceited ass 1
over heard talk,” he said, and if you
are not out of here in two minutes you
will be kicked out.”
“All of which may be as you say,”
replied the suitor; “but I am telling
you the plain thuth. If you will kindly
refer the matter to your daughter, you
will greatly oblige her.’’
As the father rose from his chair
the young man walked out.
The next day he called on the youug
man.
“I have not changed my opiniou
concerning you since yesterday,” he
said, rather pleasantly than otherwise,
“and lam sorry for the girl, but I
withdraw my opposition. I suppose
she’s that way because she’s a woman.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised,” replied
the young mau. “Good morning.
Much obliged.”
And so they were married, and lived
happily, too, to the end of theis days—
he never regretting, for she was rich
and beautiful and always happy, for
the mao she loved best in all the world
was her husband.
We would like to look into the pleas
ant face of some one who has never
had any derangement of the digestive
organs. We see the drawn and un
happy faces of dyspeptics in every walk
of life. It is our national disease, and
nearly all complaints spring from this
source. Remove the stomach difficulty
and the work is done.
Dyspeptics aud pale, thin people are
literally starving, because they don’t
digest their lood. Consumption never
develops in people of robust and nor
mal digestion. Correct the wasting
and loss of flesh and we cure the dis
ease. Do this with food.
The Shateer Digestive Cordial con
tains already digested food and is a
digester of food at the same time. Its
effects are felt at once. Get a pam
phlet of your druggist and learn about
it.

Washington Setting a Post.
In the village of Southport, Conn.,
is preserved a piece of Cedar post which
Washington helped to set iu the ground
at Farrington. The story associated
with the post is told by the Rev. A.
N. Lewis iu a published address.
He was out walking with his host
when he came to a man who was plant
ing a hitching post in the ground by
the roadside. The Genetal stopped
and said :
“My friend, 1 can show you how to
set your post so it will never rot.”
Taking it in his hands—those great
hands of his—he placed it upside down
and held it while the man filled up the
hole aud stamped arouud it.
It is a well known fact that a post
set bottom side up will not absorb wa
ter. The sap tubes will not draw when
the post is reversed.

Irishman.
“All right,” said the man, and dip
ping his huger into a dish of milk at
his side he drew it a yard in length on
the counter.
“Anything else?” he asked triumph

“No,” said the Irishman. “Jnst roll

Sonic Recent Reports Concerning the
Ravages of this Prevalent Disease.
Dr. Hartman is constantly receiving
letters from all parts of the United
States from people who have suffered
from la grippe or are suffering from it.
The doctor’s remedy, l’e-ru ua, is
found to he of great value in the treat
ment of this disease. N. N. Coons,
Monmouth, 111., writes; “Last fall I
was taken with la grippe aud was un
able to do my work. I consulted sev
eral of our best doctors hut found very
little relief. 1 saw one of your adver
tisements and concluded to give your
Pe ru-na a trial. I bought two hot
ties aud was surprised at the good it
did me. I used it all and bought six
more bottles and was soou able to go
back to my work. I think your Pe
ru na is an excellent medicine and J
have recommended it to ohters.” Geo.
W. Norman, 2. r )3l Nicellet Ave., Min
neapolis, Minn., was also cured of la
grippe with Peru na.
Many cases of cures of la grippe are
recorded in I)r. Hartman's latest book
on chronic Catarrh and catarrhal die
eases. The book contains 64 pages,
instructively illustrated. It will he

Here are Ten New CoiiiniaiHlnionts.
A Chicago woiuau devised them for

These are the ten new command

wife, that thou must cherish all thy
life. Thou shalt uot stay out late at
night, when lodges, friends or clubs in
vite. Thou shalt not smoke in door or
out, or chew tobacco “round about.”
Thou shalt not praise receive my pies,
nor pastry made by me dispise. My
mother thou shalt strive to please aud
let her live with us iu ease. Remem
ber, ’tis thy duty clear to dress me well
throughout the year. Thou shalt iu
maimer mild and meek give me thy
wages every week. Thou shalt not be
a drinking man, hut live on prohibition
plan. Thou shalt not flirt, but must
allow thou wife such freedom, anyhow.
Thou shalt get up when baby cries and
try thy child to tranquilizo. These,
my commandments, from day to day,
implicity thou shalt obey.
A Florida editor gets off this riddle:
“Boys never have it, girls have it
but once. Mrs. Gallagher had it twice
after she was married. Luke has it in
front and Paul in the rear, but if you
waut to get it in both ends you must
go to Liverpool for it.” It is the let

A newspaper may pay one of its
readers a hundred compliments aud he
not even so much as I thank you for
your kindness. But let the same pa
per criticise the same person, however
mildly and however justly, aud it is
certain to hear from him in most un
complimentary terms.
An exchange says: Either run a
town with vim or just sell out and leave
it. Men who are all the time trying
to get out of town will never build up
the town or their own business. One
of two things must be done —run the
town for all it is worth, get up steam
and keep it up, or quit the whole thing,
slide out and let nature take its course.
Do you want trade? Bid for it. Do
you want a prosperous town where peo
pie can come who are disposed to
make homes? Then do away with per
sonal feeling, bury from sight all spire
work; work nomore fora few individuals,
but all work together for a mutual
benefit. Wake up, rub your eyes, roll
up your sleeves aud go to work
l>ou’t work with fear, and trembling,
hut tak-i it for granted that blood will

I liorrow no trouble, but all unite to make
I the biggest kind of a city.

of ’em talk that way before they have
to pay the butcher.”
“This isu’t talk anyhow. He proved
his love, 1 tell you.”

He he- /?
The town of Kokomo, Ind., boasts
of a genius in business who will no
doubt one day be a millionaire. He
is a sewing machine agent and recently
he called at the home of a woman to
sell her a machine. She saw him com
ing and started to the door in a hull to
tell him to be gone. In passing an
open fireplace her dress caught fire,
and in a second she was in danger of
burning to death. The agent dropped
the machine, caught up a rug, wrapped
it around her and succeeded in smoth
ering the flame before it had done her
any harm. While she was still wrap
ped in the rug the agent began: “Mad
ame, permit me to mention that I am
selling the very best make of sewing
machine in the world—” The upshot
was that before the rug was unwrapped
the agent had sold the machine, and
was happy.
